BIOGRAPHY

Romero Britto was born in Recife, Brazil in 1963. In 1983, he traveled to Paris where he was introduced to the work of Matisse and Picasso. He combined influences from cubism with pop, to create a vibrant, iconic style that The New York Times describes, “exudes warmth, optimism and love”.

In 1988, Britto moved to Miami and emerged as an international artist. In the following year, he was selected alongside Andy Warhol and Keith Haring for Absolut Vodka’s “Absolut Art” campaign. Britto’s pop sensibility has since leant itself to many collaborations with such brands as Audi, Bentley, and Disney. Britto’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in over 100 countries, including the Salon National des Beaux-Arts exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in 2008 and 2010. He has also created public art installations for the O2 Dome (Berlin), Hyde Park (London), John F. Kennedy Airport (New York), and Cirque du Soleil at Super Bowl XLI. He was also selected to serve as the Ambassador to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Britto considers the role of an artist to be an agent of positive change.
